Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method for receiving a synchronization signal block by a UE in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method includes receiving at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols, wherein two regions for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a specific time duration including the plurality of symbols, and a time between the two regions, a time before the two regions and a time after the two regions are identical in the specific time duration.
Claims15
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, in a frequency band greater than 6 GHz, at least one synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) (SS/PBCH) block respectively comprising 4 symbols;
- wherein a plurality of candidate SS/PBCH blocks in which the at least one SS/PBCH block is available to be received are included in a unit region,
- wherein a plurality of unit regions comprising the unit region are included in a half frame,
- wherein the plurality of unit regions are distributed in a plurality of sets respectively comprising 4 consecutive unit regions,
- wherein the plurality of sets are separated from each other by a time duration,
- wherein a length of the time duration is identical to a length of the unit region in a time domain, and
- wherein an actually transmitted number of SS/PBCH blocks is indicated by a bitmap for a plurality of groups of SS/PBCH blocks and by bits other than the bitmap for a number of SS/PBCH blocks within one of the plurality of groups.
A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one computer-readable memory coupled with the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, control the UE to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, in a frequency band greater than 6 GHz, at least one synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) (SS/PBCH) block respectively comprising 4 symbols;
- wherein a plurality of candidate SS/PBCH blocks in which the at least one SS/PBCH block is available to be received are included in a unit region,
- wherein a plurality of unit regions comprising the unit region are included in a half frame,
- wherein the plurality of unit regions are distributed in a plurality of sets respectively comprising 4 consecutive unit regions,
- wherein the plurality of sets are separated from each other by a time duration,
- wherein a length of the time duration is identical to a length of the unit region in a time domain, and
- wherein an actually transmitted number of SS/PBCH blocks is indicated by a bitmap for a plurality of groups of SS/PBCH blocks and by bits other than the bitmap for a number of SS/PBCH blocks within one of the plurality of groups.
A method performed by a base station (BS) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, in a frequency band greater than 6 GHz, at least one synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) (SS/PBCH) block respectively comprising 4 symbols;
- wherein a plurality of candidate SS/PBCH blocks in which the at least one SS/PBCH block is available to be transmitted are included in a unit region,
- wherein a plurality of unit regions comprising the unit region are included in a half frame,
- wherein the plurality of unit regions are distributed in a plurality of sets respectively comprising 4 consecutive unit regions,
- wherein the plurality of sets are separated from each other by a time duration,
- wherein a length of the time duration is identical to a length of the unit region in a time domain, and
- wherein an actually transmitted number of SS/PBCH blocks is indicated by a bitmap for a plurality of groups of SS/PBCH blocks and by bits other than the bitmap for a number of SS/PBCH blocks within one of the plurality of groups.
A base station (BS) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one computer-readable memory coupled with the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, control the BS to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting, in a frequency band greater than 6 GHz, at least one synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) (SS/PBCH) block respectively comprising 4 symbols;
- wherein a plurality of candidate SS/PBCH blocks in which the at least one SS/PBCH block is available to be transmitted are included in a unit region,
- wherein a plurality of unit regions comprising the unit region are included in a half frame,
- wherein the plurality of unit regions are distributed in a plurality of sets respectively comprising 4 consecutive unit regions,
- wherein the plurality of sets are separated from each other by a time duration,
- wherein a length of the time duration is identical to a length of the unit region in a time domain, and
- wherein an actually transmitted number of SS/PBCH blocks is indicated by a bitmap for a plurality of groups of SS/PBCH blocks and by bits other than the bitmap for a number of SS/PBCH blocks within one of the plurality of groups.
